What levels in engineering are terminal levels in these big companies: fb, amzn, appl, msft, goog?
Msft 63
Fb 5
What exactly is terminal level.
The level at which you won't be fired for lack of promo progress.
AMZN l5 officially, l6 in practice. At l5 you likely have 5 or 6 years before people really start asking why you aren't moving up and then it's more that they hunt for a problem at that point than any official rule.
So despite official terminal L5, they may kick you out after 6 years if you are not able to move up to L6? Then I guess L6 is the new official terminal level.
More like they will start probing why you aren't moving and discover that in fact you have issues which explain it and that results in coaching which then just goes downhill from there
Msft 64 or 65
Goog 4
Didn’t it use to be 5?
